Chapter 672: Jordan's Gamble

The three supergiants who appeared in the T-NT live broadcast room undoubtedly stunned the fans who had just turned on the TV, because... Basically, they never thought that these three people would be in the same live broadcast seat, in fact, it should be said that ...... Don't dare to think!

And now, T-NT has invited them over with various connections and gathered together!

This is clearly an epoch-making feat.

In fact, the game they commented on was also epoch-making.

Michael Jordan said to the audience in front of the TV as soon as the camera focused on him: "I rarely show up in the commentary booth, but when I received this invitation the day before yesterday, I hesitated for less than 30 seconds and said yes and turned down a commercial event." What this game means to me is... The best matchup for shooting guards. There's no more advanced SG matchup than this. ”

Magic Johnson spoke after Jordan: "I'm just here to address the Lakers' weakness in the T-NT commentary booth, Earl and Kenny, you two guys are very biased Knicks fans, I can't watch you bully Kenny like this, and I think the Lakers lost three games in a row before this has a lot to do with your commentary." ”

Magic Johnson This is a joke, but it makes Kenny Smith on the side inexplicably moved...... The baby's heart is bitter!! These guys aren't human, they're bullying me to death.

And the third superstar who was cut to the camera is a little special, he is different from the two MJs, he is an active superstar, he was a symbol of genius before he came out in style, and he is also known as the only superstar who has the potential to dominate the league, but... With the advent of chic. All this has already begun to turn out in the dark, at least no one will call him the future ruler, only as the biggest blocker of the chic!! From the first-person protagonist mode, to the biggest supporting role from the third-person perspective.

He's LeBron James!!

A large part of the reason why LeBron James will appear at T-NT is because he is about to broadcast a show on T-NT, and this show is called Choice. He will be open to the world about which team he will be joining against. In order to get the right to broadcast this scoop, T-NT paid a high price, and in return, LeBron James appeared in the live broadcast room of this Finals.

In all fairness, LeBron James, who was just eliminated by the Knicks, shouldn't be here. But he came anyway.

In the pre-game analysis, Magic Johnson and Kenny Smith both clearly believe that the Lakers will win, and there is no way that one of them is a Lakers shareholder, and the other determines the ownership of three million US dollars, can they not be resolute and decisive?

And the only one who insists that the Knicks will win is Charles Barkley. Now everyone on earth knows that he is a die-hard fan of dashing, so no one is surprised.

And Earl Johnson and Michael Jordan and LeBron James are all on the sidelines.

Earl Johnson, of course, thinks that the Lakers are more likely to win in his heart, but he is a host rather than a ball commentator after all, and the ball commentator can have a clear attitude and position, and it is better for the host to be a little more restrained.

Michael Jordan's opinion is: "I can't decide who will win, the Lakers have more advantages on paper, their roster is deeper and more reasonable, and they have more continuity on both ends of the floor." And there's a mature tactical style of play, with great coaches and players in charge. But. The Lakers never found a way to limit the squander, and they needed something deeper to help them win the game. ”

"The Knicks, on the other hand, have almost no advantages other than the home court and the slump, and may have more options in the appointment of interior players, but other than that, they are all weaknesses. But. I still can't tell that the Knicks will lose because they have a sloppy... There is so much uncertainty in Xiao Sa's body that no one knows what feat he will do next. Therefore, my opinion is that there is no tendency for the time being. ”

Michael Jordan gave his reasons. In a nutshell, it's a battle between teams and individuals. Xiao played against the entire Lakers team on his own. Such a feat of individual heroism is almost the strongest solo show since the post-Jordan era...... And this is why Michael chose to appear in public in the live broadcast room of the TV station.

Michael Jordan's reason for not being able to make a judgment is that Xiao Xiao is too strong and unpredictable, while LeBron James gives the opposite reason: "My opinion is a little different from Michael, and the reason why I think the winning percentage of the two teams is not much different is not entirely because of Xiao Xiao." Xiao is indeed very powerful, but he is not the absolute factor that determines whether the Knicks can sweep to the top. Basketball is the idea of five people, and we have to face up to the fact that every player in the Knicks is underrated, they are much stronger than we think, but they are overshadowed by the sparkle. ”

Although the views of the two 23s are similar, the reasons for their arguments are very different. Michael Jordan believes that it is the chic individual ability that determines the Knicks' victory, while LeBron James puts the treasure on the Knicks' team victory.

These are two very different arguments.

However, in retrospect, it is understandable that each other made such a round ending. Michael Jordan is retired after all, and the current battle between top players has little to do with him. His concern now is that Xiao Sao can make a performance that surpasses himself in the position of scoring guard, and he is actually optimistic about it, he doesn't mind that there is a new generation of players to surpass him, and he doesn't mind stepping off the altar, and he will be a little tired after being a god for a long time.

Unlike LeBron James, he is still in the league and has extremely close and complicated entanglements with Shaw. Xiao Sao just snatched the first person in the league from him, and of course he successfully won the regular season MVP this season, but he was swept by the Knicks in the playoffs. After the team was swept, LeBron James surrendered to Xiao Shi as if he was defeated, saying that he was willing to join New York, but in exchange for Xiao Shi's eyes and rejection, which made him lose a very important option in his upcoming live broadcast options this summer.

So, to sum up. It's completely impossible for LeBron James not to have a knot in his heart for chic. So he's more willing to blame the Knicks for the win than the slick individual.

Due to the arrival of these three superstars, the finals have not officially started, and the ratings of T-NT have soared all the way to the highest point reached in the last game!!

After all, the opportunity for these three to appear on the same stage is too rare, for basketball lovers. This can almost be described as a once-in-a-century occurrence.

And, most importantly, the commentary is still such a topical finals!

The players on both sides of the game obviously didn't know who was sitting in the remote T-NT live broadcast room waiting to explain their game, and their thoughts at the moment were simple and unanimous, which was to win the game.

The Lakers are on the brink of no return, and if they lose this game, they won't just be the biggest losers...... After all, this is a sweep, and what a shame it is to be swept out of the finals! For a giant team like the Lakers, it is an unacceptable shame. [Note: Kobe Bryant's classic quotes.] Second place means the biggest loser. 】

Therefore, the Lakers have been working hard in the past three days, studying various tactics and accumulating energy, in order to fight tonight's backwater.

Unlike the Lakers, who are desperate, the Knicks players instantly became relaxed after being appeased in the locker room, and their psychological baggage was long gone.

Two teams. One side is strong, and the other side is lightly loaded. From the mentality, there are natural differences, and it can even be said that there are two extremes.

At this time, the Lakers are a bit like they are facing a life-and-death battle under the dark clouds crushing the city, while the Knicks seem to be out camping with a tent in a pickup truck.

And the funny thing in reality is that no matter how they feel about each other, they still have to play and end this high-profile game.

Soon. The game starts at the referee's whistle.

The players from both sides walked to the pitch in unison, and after setting their positions, the referee kicked off!

Syllable!

The basketball was slapped by Andrew Bynum into the hands of Kobe Bryant.

At this moment, every player on the Lakers team has a sharp and intense aggression in their eyes, and their desire to win has reached its extreme. They don't want to lose anymore, they can't afford to lose!

People tend to burst out with the strongest mental strength when they are in a desperate situation, and this is the case with the Lakers at this moment.

Andrew Bynum gave Tyson Chandler a tough look after his successful jump shot.

Tyson Chandler was slightly stunned, and then smiled indifferently. Compared to Andrew Bynum, who entered the league in 06, Chandler, who joined the league in 01, is undoubtedly much more experienced.

Kobe Bryant came to the front court with the ball, and in the face of the slick defense, he broke through two steps and stopped sharply, and used the gap in the defense to pass the basketball to the starting Lamar Odom, who then handed it to Pau Gasol, who scored in the face of Milicic's defensive jumper!

It's a classic Lakers-style fit, and since getting Pau Gasol, this tactic has matured through constant drilling.

The Lakers' goal was greeted with boos from the audience because it was Madison Garden, and more than 20,000 fans in the stadium waved broomsticks to create the strongest boos for the Lakers.

After the switch between offense and defense, the basketball was handed over to Xiao Sa, and after Xiao Po came to the front court with the ball, the defender in front of him turned out to be Derek Fisher...... And even for the aging Derrick Fisher, his defense is nothing more than eye attention.

What is this doing?

Xiao Xiao was a little stunned.

And Michael Jordan, who was sitting in the live broadcast room, smiled a little embarrassedly: "Wow, Jordan's rule!" That's how the Pistons did to me back then, and then all the teams learned it, and they let me go, and they cut me off from my teammates. I'm really looking forward to how Xiao Shi will respond to this problem. Is it to forcibly continue to tie up with teammates, or is it ......"

Before Michael Jordan's words were finished, Xiao Xiao made a jumper directly from outside the three-point line...... Swish!

Basketball caught!!

The Lakers seem to have forgotten that Xiao Xiao can shoot now, in fact, even if Xiao Xiao doesn't use the jump shot to shoot on the spot, the aging Derrick Fisher can't defend it!

After the goal, Xiao Xiao didn't even bother to celebrate, turned around and slowly ran to the front.

Xiao is so low-key, but the fans at Madison Garden are not willing to remain silent at all. They quickly made a sound that resounded throughout the arena...... Kill! Kill! Kill!

The momentum is like a rainbow in an instant, and the murderous aura is also bursting in an instant!

Madison Garden is truly the home of the league's devils!

"Madison Garden is getting more and more like the devil's home right now!" Michael Jordan couldn't help but tease when he heard the voice coming from the picture.

"Xiao Shi gave the New York fans a large dose of calcium tablets, which made their bones hard." Charles Barkley echoed with a smile.

Earl Johnson threw the topic to LeBron James: "On this point, LeBron should be the most vocal." Before joining the Knicks, Cleveland played at Madison Garden every time. You can hear the sound of MVPs like mountains and tsunamis. The last season or two seems to have been all there has been boos and some abuse! ”

LeBron James smiled awkwardly, he didn't know how to answer this question, because no matter which angle he answered, it would be difficult to avoid the comparison with Xiao Shao in the end, and in this situation, no matter how the comparison would be Xiao Sheng, so it would be better to show eight teeth silently.

"Hey, Magic, aren't you going to call Phil Jackson or Koopcheco right now?" Michael Jordan cleared LeBron James. He started another conversation and handed it to Magic Johnson.

Magic Johnson spread his hands when he heard this, he didn't know why Jordan suddenly asked such a question, he asked suspiciously: "Why did you call them?" Now they're playing well, and the Lakers' whole spirit is completely different from the last game. I think the Lakers will have at least a 1-in-1 chance of winning tonight."

"No, no, no." Michael Jordan shook his head repeatedly: "If Phil Jackson continues to use Derrick Fisher to defend the scarf, use this Jordan rule." I think... The Lakers don't have the slightest chance of winning. ”

"Why?" The magician used a very simple word to express his even more incomprehensible doubts.

"The thing on Phil's mind now must be that Xiao Xiao will definitely find a way to crack this tactic. Will definitely involve his teammates, because Xiao Xiao had done this in the previous game. But... Maybe this is just another trap for chic? Xiao Sao is a guy who can even hide his jump shooting ability, why can't he deliberately bury such a foreshadowing in the previous game and wait for the key battle to close the net? ”

"No matter how much he can score, he can't play against the entire Lakers, and I think even if he is allowed to shoot like this. Still no problem. Because there will always be a moment when his hand feels rusty, and his physical strength will be quickly depleted in one shot after another. And his teammates are also exerting stamina on the defensive end, and they are also consuming patience on the offensive end, and so on...... The Knicks are bound to lose!! Magic Johnson didn't think there was anything wrong with the Lakers' tactics at all, and even felt that Michael Jordan was alarmist in his words.

Michael Jordan heard Magic Johnson say this. I couldn't help but giggle and said to Magic Johnson, "I heard that Charles had a big bet with Kenny, and they bet three million dollars for the championship. Or... Let's take a gamble. Bet on the winner of this game......"

Before Jordan could finish his words, Earl Johnson couldn't wait to ask, "Hey, Michael." Didn't you say before that there was no way to know for sure who would win? Why are you willing to take out a check to sign a gambling contract now? ”

"Who made the Lakers choose a tactic that made me feel uncomfortable? Anyway, I'm betting now that the Knicks can sweep the Lakers tonight, how about it, Magic, as a shareholder of the Lakers, do you dare bet?"

Michael Jordan, as a veteran driver in the gambling industry, constantly contains agitation, and it also forces the magic to the point where he can't say NO.

Magic Johnson gritted his teeth, just as Andrew Bynum on the court scored in the penalty area and received a penalty.

This two plus one strengthened his determination, and he made a decision in an instant: "Okay, bet on it!" I'm betting on the Lakers to win tonight and bring the Finals back to Staples Arena. ”

"Refreshing, I like magicians like this!!" Michael Jordan couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Magic Johnson had agreed to the offer. Then he dug a hole for the magician: "The value and status of the two of us, if the bet is smaller than Barkley's, doesn't it seem a little too low?" ”

"And how much do you think is appropriate?" The magician was fooled.

Michael Jordan stretched out a finger: "Barely enough, 10 million......"
